Verse 1
 
There’s a
G 
little white church in Georgia
 
With the
D 
steeple still attached
 
When all
G 
those cars drive by
 
They don’t know
D 
what they just passed
 
No
Bm7 
fancy signs
Asus 
one service time
 
And the d
G 
oors are always
D 
unlocked
 
It’s the
G 
first place that
Bm7 
I saw
 
The hand of
Asus 
God
 
Chorus 1
 
You couldn’t
G 
tell me
D 
 
There wasn’t
Bm7 
healing in those
Asus 
walls
 
You couldn’t
G 
tell me
D 
 
Angels
Bm7 
didn’t walk those
Asus 
halls
 
On a
D/F# 
Wednesday
G 
night
 
And Sun
D 
day morning
 
We didn’t have
Bm7 
much
 
But
Asus 
Jesus loved it
 
If you wanna know
Bm7 
why
 
I am
D 
the way I
G 
am
 
It’s the church I grew
G 
up in

There’s tear
G 
stains in the carpet
 
Comm
D 
union in the back
 
N
G 
one there was perfect
 
But we
D 
all tried our best
Bm7 
Mothers' prayers
Asus 
still in the air
 
For the
G 
ones who’ve walked
D 
away
 
The
G 
only thing
Bm7 
that kept us
 
Was G
Asus 
od’s grace

Bridge 1
 
From
G 
wedding vows
D 
to funerals
 
The
Bm7 
church bells they
Asus 
still ring
 
It’s
G 
where I learned
D 
the gospel
 
And my
Bm7 
mom taught me
Asus 
to sing

Yo
G 
u can try to
A 
tell me
 
That the

day
 
But I know it
G 
is
 
So I’ll tell
Asus 
my kids

healing in these
D 
walls

Down these
